Chapter 3033 Inciting Ambition
Chai Zhewei glared at Fang Jun who was smiling on the horse, wishing he could fly up with his wings, then throw this guy to the ground and bite him hard.
Although the two are of the same generation, they are nearly ten years apart in age, and they usually play in different circles. Logically speaking, Chai Zhewei is more like a senior. Facing the provocation of Fang Jun, the "little brother", he only felt a burning pain in his face. , there is no place for shame and anger.
Fang Xuanling has been as gentle as jade, gentle and gentle all his life, how did he give birth to such a stick?
At this time, there was another sound of horse hooves in the distance. When we got closer, we realized that it was the soldiers from the patrol camp of Youtun Guard who heard the movement and sent people over to patrol.
Chai Zhewei saw that the more people gathered together, the more trouble he would make. This incident would only make him more embarrassed.
Taking a deep breath to control his furious emotions, Chai Zhewei gritted his teeth and nodded: "The Duke of Yue is not entirely responsible for what happened today. I, too, have done something wrong. Let's just let it go. We will never pursue any further investigation afterwards."< br>
In fact, it was not that Fang Jun was afraid that he would pursue the matter later, but that he was afraid that Fang Jun would open his mouth and spread the word about it everywhere.
The dignified Duke Qiao and General Zuotunwei were regarded as "thieves" and almost had to be rubbed in the mud. How could they lose face if the news spread?
In any case, today he fell into a pit and lost face for a while, so he accepted the defeat and could not escalate the situation.
Fang Jun laughed, reined in his horse, flicked the whip in his hand, and said to the soldiers around him: "Okay, a bunch of blind birds, even Duke Qiao couldn't recognize it, so he thought it was intentional." You unscrupulous thieves, are you embarrassed this time? Come back to the camp immediately. If anyone dares to stay up late at night and mess around, I will break your legs one by one!"
He left with his soldiers.
The rain kept falling, and Chai Zhewei's mood was not so harmonious...
Listening to Fang Jun's last insinuations, Chai Zhewei's teeth chattered and he cursed at the soldiers around him: "Are you all so stupid? Seeing me being humiliated by that guy, you two are just standing there stupidly. , I can raise a dog better than you!”
The soldiers were trembling with fear, lowering their heads and not daring to speak, but they may not be convinced in their hearts.
Just now, people have already set their bows and arrows. Who knows whether the stick will seriously give the order to release the arrows? We are a little timid, but it is also for the sake of your safety, Commander-in-Chief. We are loyal to protect the Lord, but you compare us to dogs...
However, no one dared to speak when looking at his handsome man with bulging veins.
Chai Zhewei got angry, but he also knew in his heart that it was really no wonder these soldiers were fighting against their foreheads with their strong bows. What else could they do besides being captured without mercy?
"Hmph!"
He snorted angrily and showed his toughness to his soldiers, as if the humiliation he suffered earlier was really a last resort. Then he turned around and walked back to the military camp angrily, not even riding his horse...
Back in the camp, the soldiers had already prepared hot water. Chai Zhewei took off his clothes and washed them randomly in a wooden bucket. He changed into a set of clean clothes, sat in the tent and drank half a pot of warm tea. Then he let out a long breath, and the depression in his chest and abdomen was slightly relieved.
Army Lieutenant Commander Shi You Wenzhi walked in from outside. After entering, he took off his raincoat, shook the rainwater and put it on the ground beside the door. Then he walked up to Chai Zhewei, saluted and asked, "The commander was outside the camp gate just now. What happened?”
Chai Zhewei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he relied on You Wenzhi as a confidant and trusted him very much. He would not hide anything, so he told the story of his humiliation by Fang Jun.
You Wenzhi couldn't help but secretly sighed.
The marshal of his own and Fang Jun had a sworn relationship. Whenever there was a chance, they would skin each other and put him to death.
But this happened to fit in with his plan...
He frowned and said angrily: "This is too much! Even if it gets darker and the marshal has announced his home, wouldn't he step forward to check carefully? He will disarm the marshal's soldiers without saying a word. He also wants to take the commander back for torture and interrogation. This is simply a deliberate attempt to humiliate the commander!”
Chai Zhewei's anger, which had subsided slightly since then, boiled up again. He threw the teacup to the ground and cursed: "Fang Er and I are not the same!"
He was really embarrassed today. In the past, Duke Qiao was elegant and well-groomed. He was also a well-known figure in the circle of ladies and had countless admirers. How had he ever encountered such an extremely embarrassing situation? If today's incident were to come out, I don't know how many people would be extremely disappointed with him.
Especially the continuous defeat at the hands of Fang Jun was even more difficult for the proud and arrogant Chai Zhewei to accept...
You Wenzhi called a soldier to clean up the broken teacup fragments on the ground. However, when he was opposite Chai Zhewei, he said worriedly: "The hatred between the commander-in-chief and Fang Jun can no longer be alleviated. Even if the commander-in-chief has a broad mind, Fang Junyi can't. Targeting the Marshal again and again, he is obviously very worried about the Marshal's status. It is better now, after all, His Majesty is reasonable and fair, but in the future when the Crown Prince ascends the throne... it will be really worrying. "
< br>
Chai Zhewei held his breath depressedly, not knowing what to say.
He didn't know how he offended Fang Jun. Could it be that just because that guy had seen him before he was assassinated in Furong Garden, he equated himself with the assassin?
Not to mention the truth of the matter, in the absence of evidence, this is obviously somewhat arbitrary.
But Fang Jun is so unreasonable sometimes. Otherwise, how could he have forced a highly respected scholar like Linghu Defen to bang his head against a pillar in the Golden Palace and knock him unconscious before he could step down? Not to mention the life and death grievances with the Changsun family...
As You Wenzhi said, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, as a minister beside the prince, Fang Jun will surely rise, and it is not impossible to become the prime minister. When the time comes, you will definitely be suppressed by the other party.
Especially Fang Jun, who is ten years younger than himself. He must have been in charge of the center for a very long time. When will his hard days end...
You Wenzhi looked at Chai Zhewei's changing face and said tentatively: "Now the prince's family has a deep prejudice against the commander-in-chief. Although your majesty is in his prime, that day will come sooner or later. Whether it is for the commander-in-chief's own future. , or the future of the entire Duke of Qiao, why not give yourself a way out as soon as possible? Everything will be done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. It is better to plan early. ”
These words made Chai Zhewei's heart skip a beat. He looked up at You Wenzhi with a faint look in his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
You Wenzhi said nothing, but his attitude was obvious.
The so-called escape route, isn't there just one right in front of us? His Royal Highness, Prince Jing, is a courtesy corporal who keeps trying to win over you...
Chai Zhewei was a little moved at first, but then he shook his head and said: "No, King Jing has great prestige and great influence within the clan, but he has no military power in his hands and no help from the court, so it can't be done."
You Wenzhi whispered: "Commander, this is a bit taken for granted. Except for Fang Jun, Ma Zhou and a few other people in the court, which one of the others was not selected by Emperor Gaozu? Although I am loyal to His Majesty now, who knows what the end will be? How many people are dissatisfied with Your Majesty? As for military power, don’t you, Commander-in-Chief, have a military guard in your hands..."
The implication is that it is precisely because King Jing has no military power that you can ask for high prices. As long as you join him, you will definitely occupy a place.
It is precisely because King Jing lacks military power that you become more important!
Chai Zhewei's heart was pounding, and he was a little excited, but mostly timid.
Chai Zhewei is different from any other prince. Whether he is the King of Jin or the King of Wei, or even if the King of Qi or the King of Shu wants to compete for the throne, it is a battle for the throne and his Majesty's own family matter. As a minister, it makes sense no matter which one I support.
However, King Jing is different. He is the brother of His Majesty Li Er.
If King Jing wants to ascend to power, he can only rebel and re-enact the "Xuanwumen Incident"!
He was a little thirsty and wanted to drink water, but found that he had smashed the teacup. He shook his head and said, "The risk is too great."
He is not just himself. Thousands of people in Qiaoguo's palace have lost their lives. Once they fail, they will be massacred. Even if his brother Chai Lingwu is the son-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, he may not be able to escape the relationship.
Maybe the entire Chai family will be extinct from now on...
You Wenzhi saw Chai Zhewei's heart moved, but he still looked like he was "doing great things without sacrificing his own life". He was worried about this and worried about that. He thought in his heart but said no, with some contempt, but persuaded him: "Of course there are risks, but the benefits are greater. Big!”
One sentence stirred up Chai Zhewei's heart.
That's right, before the "Xuanwumen Incident", didn't His Majesty Li Er and the entire "Tiance Mansion" tie the lives of the whole family to their belts? If you lose, then everyone will be executed and everything will be over.
But they won, and from then on, the "Tiance Mansion" jumped up and down the dragon gate, and its power was overwhelming... (End of this chapter)
